The circuit operation design of the prior filter, because each operation formula must require a operation unit to perform the operation, so the filter, which is required complex operation, must utilize a plurality of adders, subtracters, multipliers, and operation unit to compose the required operation circuit for the filter. Hence, the filter requires hardware with complex design and a larger area for arranging the hardware. Presently, the prior filter cannot match the microminiaturized require of the filter. Besides, owing to each operation unit have a delay time in the operation, the prior filter used such adders, subtracters, multipliers therein will cause the require of a longer delay time of the operation of the whole filter, so the filter can not achieve the rapid require of wave filtering.

Wherein, theIIR controlling device 12 comprises aregister 16, a controllingunit 18 and a multiplexer unit (MUX) 20. Theregister 16 is connecting with the controllingunit 18 so as to utilize theregister 16 storing the required filter parameter in the operation and receiving the operation data from the controllingunit 18. In the beginning of the operation, the filter parameter stored in theregister 16 is initialized by the controllingunit 18. However, the multiplexer unit (MUX) 20 is connected to the controllingunit 18, theregister 16, and the arithmetic andlogic unit 14, so the multiplexer unit (MUX) 20 is according to the control of the controllingunit 18 to choosing the required filter parameter and the operation data in the operation to output into the arithmetic andlogic unit 14. At the same time, the arithmetic andlogic unit 14 would directly receive the data from the controllingunit 18 to match the filter parameter and to perform the operation. The new obtained parameter from the operation is stored into theregister 16 to use for the operation parameter in the following use. - Referring to the FIG. 2, the arithmetic and
logic unit 14 mentioned above is composed of an adder-subtracter 22 and ashifter 24. Wherein, the adder-subtracter 22 is provided with three input ends and one output end, respectively shown as a1, a2, a3, a4. The input end a1 and the input end a2 are connected with the multiplexer unit (MUX) 20.

The input end a3 is receiving the performing signal from the controllingunit 18 to perform adding or subtracting to those two numerals. After adding or subtracting those two numerals via the adder-subtracter 22, the output end a4 of the adder-subtracter 22 is outputting a numeral (a new operation parameter) into theregister 16 of theIIR controlling device 12 and to be stored therein. In the same reason, theshifter 24 is arranged two input ends connecting with the multiplexer unit (MUX) 20 and one output end connecting with theregister 16, respectively shown as s1, s2, s3.

unit 18 mentioned above to control the internal operation procedure of the whole digital filter. When the digital filter is performing the initializing step, the controllingunit 18 only provides few necessary parameters to store into theregister 16 and appropriately segment the length of the logic operation. The logic operation is speared into few simple operation steps (such as numeral adding, numeral subtracting, and numeral shifting) to help the operation of the adder-subtracter 22 and theshifter 24 and arrange the order of each operation step at the same time. After, the multiplexer unit (MUX) 20 controlled by the controllingunit 18 is choosing two operated-required numerals from theregister 16 and then transferring into the arithmetic andlogic unit 14 to perform the operation to produce a new parameter and then storing in theregister 16. Repeating and repeating the above steps, there are more and more parameters stored in theregister 16 until the controllingunit 18 finishing the whole logic operation. - To sum up the forgoing, the present invention merely utilizes one adder-
subtracter 22 and oneshifter 24 to compose of the arithmetic andlogic unit 14 repeating performing numeral operations. The present invention is utilizing the technology of the sharing resource to compress the complex operation procedure of the signal treatment of the digital filter so as the present invention only require one adder-subtracter and one shifter to achieve the equal effect and provide with the advantages of scaling down the area of logic circuit, low power consumption and match the microminiaturized require of the filter. Furthermore, the present invention properly segments the length of the logic operation to effectively enhance the speed of the clock so as the digital filter can achieve the advantage of rapid operation. - Of course, it is to be understood that the invention described herein need not be limited to these disclosed embodiments.
